What was the hardest thing for you to wrap your head around in BLD solving?

[Michael Womack]

Marcell's memo looked to be around ~7s so the solve would have been ~19.36s

Ok thanks

Definitely commutators. There is no good guide that explains them well, so I kinda had to look at reconstructions and algorithm sheets to finally know how to perform them intuitively.

Cycles and memo.

Breaking into new cycles. It's killing me and my hopes for an actual BLDsolve.

There are several good explanations, you just have to look for them

To name a few resources (tutotials, threads, websites)
Ryan Heise
Gilles Roux
Mike Hughey
Cris Hardwick
Byu
Doug Reed
Joël van Noort

As with breaking into new cycles I found that different tutorials work for different people.

I actually found memorization very easy it was just my fingers slipping when doing M and M2 the hardest part:confused:

Yeah, I used byu's tutorial. I also found ImaginaryHuman's tutorial on youtube and it was a little helpful.

Cycles was the hardest thing for me in the beginning. But now I don't find them a problem at all... in fact I almost like it when there are lots of cycles, i see it as a challenge

At the end of the day once you memo the cycles... you dont have to worry about the fact that they are there. Just follow your memo.

Corner cycles are easy IMO.

At first it was parity. I didn't understand it from the tutorial I watched. So I taught myself my own after a while. Later found out that Zane went on to use the exact same method in his video.

Of what I don't know yet, comms, by far.
